    Ask a simple question, get a simple answer

    WorldPainter allows you to edit biomes. I used it to make a bee testing superflat creative world in 1.6.4. I just painted the biomes using the square brush so that they would be 1 chunk in size.

    Mods that add Decorative Stone via worldgen.

    It doesn't have to be trivial. You can disable mossy in the config and use the chisel moss balls, which require resources to make.

    Doesn't this option work? B:cobblestoneMossy=true

    Mods that add Decorative Stone via worldgen.

    Now that 1.8 allows you to craft all these blocks, I am no longer concerned about enforced rarity. To OP: Artifice might flip your wicket. A bunch of different limestones, basalt, marble, paving stones, etc..

    Thoughts and speculations about TE conduits/pipes

    Currently I use Ender IO cable and Mek Universal power cable, but I am sorely missing TE's item/fluiduct in early game play. The Ender IO item cable is tough to make in the beginning, and the XU cables I use early on work well enough but don't look as nice as the old TE ducts. What I'm *really*...

    Favorite method of power generation?

    Just for pure silliness we ran our Ender IO lab off of just zombie heads in jars, aka zombie generators. Underneath the lab we had a zombie spawner set up (using Ender IO's spawner block) dropping zombles onto punji sticks and collected the flesh to marry with sugar cane in Ender IO vats, which...

    Unnamed Mekanism Stuff in NEI

    So I saw that Aiden has an issue (currently closed due to being impossible to duplicate) on this on his Mek issues page. A friend of mine hung out in IRC to talk to others about this issue, which seems to be uncommon but does happen to users of various modpacks. I really want to fix this or at...

    Weird visual glitch in 1.7.10

    I was so hoping that someone else had experienced this and just knew what was up. First I'll try updating all the mods. If that doesn't do it, I will do the mod removal thing.

    Weird visual glitch in 1.7.10

    Oh, no Optifine/MCPatcher here. Texture packs make no difference.

    Opinions on Microsoft buying Mojang

    Sorry, I won't be playing tiny violins for Notch. He is the absolute worst type of developer/businessman--an absentee one with strong opinions and power. He said he had stepped back from MC development and he did, mostly. But he'd still put a toe in the water whenever something didn't suit him...

    Weird visual glitch in 1.7.10

    I've put together a custom modpack for 1.7.10 that I'm testing, and I have one bug that is proving difficult to nail down. If I break a chest full of items, for example, about half of the items will be opaque squares. So I could have a stack of zombie flesh that looks normal and then another...

    Issues with the crackpack, days without finding answers

    I do 2G max, 512 minimum, and I've used Santa's garbage collection JVM args at times. Honestly, I try to build things, even in Skyblock, mostly out of vanilla type blocks--blocks, slabs, stairs. I save covers and Carp Blocks for accents. If given a choice between an opaque pipe and a clear one...

    Issues with the crackpack, days without finding answers

    Most of their base (on the Crackpack server) is built out of Carpenter's Blocks and Microblocks. Just sayin'.

    Opinions on Microsoft buying Mojang

    I love Minecraft. It's absolutely my favorite game to play. But vanilla has been just a hodgepodge of feature updates that could already be found in mods for awhile now. The most important feature of 1.8 is the performance improvements. Mutton and bunnies and a few new blocks (without slabs or...

    Is mekanism a must have?

    I would say it's a bit OP, at least solar/wind-wise. The problem with such systems is that MC doesn't really *have* weather. There aren't windy and still days. Since you can easily store solar power (unlike in the real world, where solar is difficult/expensive to store), rain/night is...

    Sorting Systems, Automation, and all that rot.

    I've been struggling with this, too. I am really, really resistant to setting up AE2 because it doesn't fit the theme of what I want to do. You used to be able to just hide it in a wall somewhere and it wasn't too obtrusive, even in magical/medieval themed builds, but now you need big fat cables...

    Is mekanism a must have?

    I love Mekanism. Some of my favorite features: Armored jetpack is slightly OP but awesome. You can wear the armored jetpack + one other piece of armor for full armor. Pair it with the Mek boots to get walk assist and immunity to fall damage. Beware--default configs make the jetpack a power hog...

    What cool little thing have you discovered today?

    Today I learned that Thermal Expansion 4 has barrels! They're called caches. I love JABBA, but the TE4 caches look pretty neat. There's a "meter" on the front that shows how full the cache is rather than giving you numbers, which, from a user interface design perspective, is pretty cool. You can...

    Focused modpacks

    WRT your ore issue. In 1.7.10, item IDs have changed from something like "1" to "minecraft:stone." I've never used Reika's mods, so I don't know what the OreDict names look like. To find out, in game hit F3 and H at the same time. When you hover over a block, it will tell you the name.

    Forestry Bee Breeding Setups?

    Before the pristine change, I had bred, by hand, every single breedable bee (except the seasonal ones) in Forestry, ExtraBees, and MagicBees. I never need to do that again. Give me gendustry every time.
